This is a neat idea. I am sure that the number-crunchers will have a fit, but I sure like it...not that I am a Spartan or anything....

Guard duty. What fun THAT would be. Of course most of the time you could slack off and visit the.... houses of questionable morals that follow soldiers around like stink on sh*t.

The commander of the garrison could always abuse their position and take control of the bases' construction queues and worker allocation patterns? I kinda like the sound of that!

Well, when it came to war, we could go further than that - give members 'theatre commands' or command of army groups, under which they control all units in a certain area, or just a certain group of units, and they're given objectives by the High Command (e.g. 'take this base with minimum losses', 'drive back the invasion', etc), which they carry out as they see fit.

Of course, we would need to leave in a provision which would allow the supreme commander to overrule orders if they were really stupid, and when making big, intricate plans (e.g. a mass chop-and-drop that requires a series of abse captures in a certain order), unit commanders would have to give up a lot of independence.

Sir! All serving Spartan Soliders have the right to bear arms and to smoke cigars publically, sir! And to drive jeeps and trucks without a licence or a seatbelt sir! Liberty or Death, sir!

* Jamski pushes the sunglasses up onto his shaved head *

Although I could go and smoke it over on the other side of the parade ground in the sun, sir...

I've been thinking about our values...

Obviously we are a bit paradoxial, combining strict millitary discipline with a strong individual "free warrior" ethos. I'm imagining these communites in the Rockies that refuse to pay taxes, dress in combat fatuiges, drive jeeps and carry automatic weapons to the dinner table.

Kind of "No one tells me what to do... except the colonel... and the captain... but that's because I RESPECT them, not because the government tells me what to do!"

I'm glad about that, as I've never really been much into RP stuff. I think the Drones in the last game were supposed to be less about RP and more just about the game, but by the time I tried to join it had just about ended.

All you are gathered here today to show you're tough enough, to show that you are determined enough to join the Spartan Federation. You all have a love of liberty, of FREEDOM, to do as you want, not as some pansy lefty pinko tell you that you should, and you are all prepared to fight for your SURVIVAL and for your RIGHTS!

There will are your families and children in these colony pods too, and it is our DUTY, and our RIGHT to defend them!

Forget what those soft Morganites say about setting up an ecomomy. This Planet is HOSTILE! First thing we do is set up a perimiter. Or do you want to watch your kids eaten by mindworms?

And forget what those hippy fool Gaians say about lovin' the bugs. I am NOT loving any alien worm critter that is trying to eat my brain. I am blowing that worm away, hell, its my RIGHT to blow it away.

And forget the Angels... they call themselves a faction, but they're fools. With no police how do they want to maintain order? With no weapons how will they protect themselves? I just pray they're as rich as Morgan himslef, 'cos they may need to outsource some BACKBONES, is what I hear.

So comrades, soldiers, Spartan Citizens... Be proud to stand up for what you believe in and keep your weapons loaded.

Carry on with the training, men.
